SECRET SPACE PREMIERES “STARS” ACOUSTIC VIDEO

August 3, 2016

Toledo, OH’s Secret Space is premiering a new video for a stunning acoustic performance of “Stars”. The emotional track comes from their new album The Window Room that was produced by Will Yip (Circa Survive, Citizen, Turnover) and is out now on Equal Vision Records. The video can be seen now at Youtube.com/equalvision.

Secret Space has just wrapped up a US tour with Turnover and will next head out on a full US tour supporting Anthony Green (Circa Survive, Saosin) and Mat Kerekes on The Pixie Queen Tour. All upcoming tour dates can be found below.

“For me, “Stars” has always been about spontaneity. Lyrically, I wanted to touch on the balance between being comfortable and being challenged. If you’re too comfortable, like I say in the song, it feels like you could disintegrate or waste away and lose yourself. That’s why it’s important to challenge yourself and make sure there is some kind of urgency in your life. What’s so cool to me about that message is that’s exactly how we wrote the song,” reveals vocalist/guitarist Dean Tartaglia. “We had two extra days left in the studio to finish our album so we decided to write one more song and try and top all the others so far, and I believe we did. The writing process was so ‘in the moment’ that there was no time to overthink it, and because I wrote the lyrics literally while the drums and bass were being tracked, I wrote about what I was feeling in that one specific moment.”

He adds, “What I love most about playing this song acoustic is how different a vibe it has than the full band version. I’ve always believed these songs hit people harder when they are stripped down, I think the lyrics feel more real and I plan on doing quite a few more of these acoustic sessions in the future!”
